The angle of elevation of the top of a cell phone tower from the foot of a high apartment is 60° and the angle of depression of the foot of the tower from the top of the apartment is 30°. If the height of the apartment is 50 m, find the height of the cell phone tower. According to radiation control norms, the minimum height of a cell phone tower should be 120 m. State if the height of the above mentioned cell phone tower meets the radiation norms
उत्तर
Let the height of the cell phone tower be h m
AD is the height of the apartment; AD = 50 m
Let AB be x
In the right triangle ABC
tan 60° = `"BC"/"AB"`
`sqrt(3) = "h"/x`
x = `"h"/sqrt(3)` ...(1)
In the right triangle ABD, tan 30° = `"AD"/"AB"`
`1/sqrt(3) = 50/x`
x = `50sqrt(3)` ...(2)
From (1) and (2) We get
`"h"/sqrt(3) = 50sqrt(3)`
h = `50sqrt(3) xx sqrt(3)`
= 50 × 3
= 150
Height of the cell phone tower is 150 m.
